Question

Symptoms of gestational diabetes

Answer 1

The symptoms of GD are similar to things that happen to you anyway when you are pregnant. I had GD with my first and didn't feel any differently. The huge difference was I had to watch my diet very carefully. I was sent to a nutritionist who created a diet for me. Control your carb intake (you don't have to stop consuming them completely) and stay away from sugary treats. Other than that I felt they same as many other pregnant women. I was able to keep my blood sugar under control by controling my diet through the pregnancy. My biggest fear was having a large baby but my daughter was 8.6 lbs when she was born.
